Adding content to the FIRST post only?

[MacMorag]

Is it possible, via a template mod, to change the way the FIRST post in a thread is displayed? I can see how to change all posts (via the postbit template) but I only want to change the first post in every thread.

Is this possible via template modification - or does it actually require that the source file (showthread.php?) is hacked ?

Thanks

You can use a template conditional to check the post number of the post in a thread. Use this code in one of the postbit templates to display content for the first post only:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
	// CONTENT FOR FIRST POST ONLY
</if>

Add this code to the bottom of the template. I made this up to look like the picture:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">

$spacer_open

<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="thead" align="left">
		Sponsors
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="alt1" align="center">
		BANNER CODE HERE
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>

$spacer_close

</if>
